Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) using the Medtronic Specify® 5-6-5 multicolumn surgical lead plus optimal medical management (OMM) versus OMM alone in patients suffering from predominant low back pain due to failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study has a multi-center, prospective, randomized (1:1), open-label, parallel-group design of two alternative treatments:

* SCS group (SCS+OMM)
* OMM group

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Period I (from randomization to 6 months) is the randomized parallel group comparative phase. Day zero for the study is the point of randomization. The randomization ratio is 1:1 (SCS+OMM to OMM). For the SCS+OMM arm, the screening test and/or implant occurred after randomization. Period II (6 to 24 months) is the long-term observational follow-up phase.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SCS + OMM

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) using the Medtronic Specify 5-6-5 multicolumn surgical lead plus an individual Optimal Medical Management (OMM) treatment plan

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) using the Medtronic Specify 5-6-5 multicolumn surgical lead. Subjects will undergo an SCS screening test and, if successful, an implantable neurostimulation system implant. Any SCS group subject not implanted will continue to be treated with OMM and will be followed as part of the SCS group.

Optimal Medical Management (OMM)

Intervention Type DRUG

The investigator and subject will determine an individual OMM treatment plan, which should include non-investigational pharmacologic agents and/or therapies.

OMM alone

The investigator and subject will determine an individual Optimal Medical Management (OMM) treatment plan

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Optimal Medical Management (OMM)

Intervention Type DRUG

The investigator and subject will determine an individual OMM treatment plan, which should include non-investigational pharmacologic agents and/or therapies.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* SCS candidate with the Specify 5-6-5 surgical lead
* Has FBSS and does not require further surgery (defined as persistent or recurrent low back and leg pain of at least 6 months duration following at least one decompression and/or fusion procedure)
* Average low back pain is ≥ 5 as assessed by the baseline NPRS
* Average low back pain is greater than leg pain
* Subject has persistent moderate to severe low back and leg pain despite other treatments

Exclusion Criteria

* Treated with SCS, subcutaneous or peripheral nerve stimulation, an intrathecal drug delivery system, requires back surgery at the location related to his/her original back pain complaint or experimental therapies
* Most recent back surgery \< 6 months ago
* Low back pain only (no leg pain)
* Investigator suspects substance abuse that might confound the study results
* Radiographic evidence of instability requiring fusion
* Pain relieved completely by lying down
* Life expectancy of \< 24 months
* Subject is pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the course of the study
* Subject is unable to undergo study assessments or complete questionnaires independently
